Not only that but could you fix the time of day onthat machine, too please
Ben? It's 11 minutes slow.

Well, not exactly.
"usenet", formally, means comp, sci, rec, soc, misc, news and talk, the
"big 7"; Dejanews archives lots of other newsgroups that aren't officially
"usenet". For example DN sucks down a feed of the usenet2 net.*
hierarchy, but we've asked them not to archive them (yet). They
also archive the eye.* hierarchy. These are only the ones I know about
off the top off my head, I'm sure there are others. Did you want DN
to archive these groups Ben ?
